Chinese ski resort sold

Beijing – 5 December 2017 – Dalian Wanda Group sold one of China’s largest ski resorts to another conglomerate in June, online news website The Paper reported, although it did not give a deal value for the site billed by Wanda as a US$3 billion investment project.

Reuters said the report follows several large asset sales this year by the Wanda group, which is led by billionaire founder Wang Jianlin. Wanda and some other high-profile Chinese conglomerates have also had to scale back their ambitions in the wake of Beijing’s crackdown on large debt-fuelled acquisitions overseas not seen as strategic.

Control of the Changbaishan International Resort in northern China was transferred to the Dalian Yifang Group on June 16, The Paper said in a Nov. 29 article citing the resort’s registry.

It added that Wanda retained the management and operational rights to the resort.
